Is the Packager for iPhone (pfi) still for download somewhere?

Hi,

It's great to see that Adobe is making updates for the iOS development platform.

However, I have an application in the appstore that I developed using the (old) pfi packager using Flash cs5.

Therefore I can't update the app using Air 2.6 or 2.7.

I wonder: what if I reinstall my mac from scratch, I need to reinstall pfi to create updates to my app.

Does anyone know where I can download the old pfi?

Or maybe someone downloaded the installer and is willing to send it to me?

I would hate to be unable to continue development of my "old" apps...

Thanx in advance!

Hi,

You could download PFI from http://blogs.adobe.com/labs/archives/2010/06/packager_for_ip.html. However, I strongly suggest you to move to AIR 2.7. You will get much better performance and you could target retina display.

Thanks,

Thanx for your quick respons Sanika.

Unfortunately the download-link doesn't work. It redirects to the new air-pages with no sign of a download link to the old files.

I know I should better move to air 2.7 (and believe me, I want to!), but 2 things are bothering me about air 2.7:

1) I am not able to upgrade my existing games due to the fact that some older devices aren't supported anymore. I have about 20.000 downloads allready so I can't ask all those people to download my app again when I release it under a different name. I just don't think people will like that. Especially when they have to pay for it again!

2) My app is a game for kids and most of them don't have a fancy iPhone 4 or iPad. A lot of them have iPod touches (2nd en 3rd generation) and releasing an app in Air 2.7 makes it impossible for them to download it. I would loose a rather big audience if I do so...

So, if anyone has a working download link for the old iPhone packager (PFI) or has another solution for the problems described above, I would really appreciate it.

(makes me wonder how you other guys update your existing apps)
